  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Living Art | NC-17 | 310 | A tattoo is a true poetic creation; is always more than meets the eye. It is grounded on living skin, essence emoting a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition. Jayne himself, is therefore art.

Rayne In the World!

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 12:52 PM
Ever wonder where our fellow rayne-shippers are in the world?

After playing around with Google Earth and some other programs I developed a little system.

With COMPLETE anonymity, we can now see were each other is in the world!

http://www.prettydeadly.net/index.php?page=earthmapper

No names, user names or anything like that.

Just an anonymous visitors ip log and a globe with cities.

Curious to see how many other rayne fanatics are in your area? Take a look.

Just a little fun thing to bring Rayne back to earth... figuratively speaking... I think.

Maybe you want to know which city can claim to be the Rayne Capital of the World?

Hope you enjoy it!

Here's the master list for all the entries in the Fall Challenge. 32 of the prompts were filled. My goal is for all 50 to be filled. For the participants who have mentioned they are still participating, or have multiple prompts and haven't finished their second, I put a "PENDING" next to their name.

I'm assuming you've forgotten or have just been too busy to even mention that you're busy. That leaves prompts leftover. I picked one out of a bag for myself (#23). So there are 6 prompts up for grabs.

Numbers: 14, 19, 27, 40, 41, 46

If you'd like to join in, or take another prompt, just pick one (or more) of the above numbers, and I'll PM you the prompt.

If you had any of these prompts and still plan to do them and post them, say something here. Or PM/e-mail (xmenlinx@yahoo.com) me.

Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

  1. In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
  2. The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
  3. If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
  4. If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
  5. Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

  1. We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
  2. When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
  3. RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
  4. An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
  5. The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to [info]lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit [info]lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Photos of the week

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at [info]lj_photophile.

You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

Crime and Punishment

A/N: Written for the Halloween Exchange at [info]rayne_exchange

Cute little drabble here.
EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.

Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!

Thanks [info]mhwest and [info]dnewhall for helping out!

---

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

FIC: stay + dancing (unconnected one-shots)

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Stay | PG | 816 | Jayne jolts in his sleep, her name still on his lips as she dances through his dreams yet again. Gorram girl has him turned about. Ever since those blast doors opened, she's been all he can think about. Dream about. And there ain't nothin' he can do about it.

Dancing | G | 258 | "This ain't a game, little girl." -- "But it is." His eyes land on a shadow but it's gone before he can even focus. "We're just dancing. Moving towards our end, step by step. She likes dancing with Jayne. He likes dancing with the girl too, even if he does not want to admit it."

these were written for the last rayne exchange
